Tim, I hope we haven't high-jacked your thread. As others have indicated it can be very hard to trace previous or original owners. Due to the variety of title/license/registration laws in the different states sometimes the trail goes cold 10-20 years back. Original paperwork/documentation is best. As for my 50 3600 it came with an Illinois title dated 1974. The address is a town about 45 miles from me. (I actually bought it from a different person in another town about 75 miles from me.) There is a different name and town painted on the doors, that town only about 30 miles from me. I have not tried to investigate it.
